Exploring gravity with the MIGA large scale atom interferometer

B. Canuel, A. Bertoldi, L. Amand +22

We present an underground long baseline atom interferometer to study gravity at large scale. The hybrid atom-laser antenna will use several atom interferometers simultaneously inte…

MIGA: Combining laser and matter wave interferometry for mass distribution monitoring and advanced geodesy

B. Canuel, S. Pelisson, L. Amand +14

The Matter-Wave laser Interferometer Gravitation Antenna, MIGA, will be a hybrid instrument composed of a network of atom interferometers horizontally aligned and interrogated by t…

Lifetimes of atoms trapped in an optical lattice in proximity of a surface

Sophie Pelisson, Riccardo Messina, Marie-Christine Angonin +1

We study the lifetime of an atom trapped in an optical vertical lattice in proximity of a massive surface using a complex scaling approach. We analyze how the presence of the surfa…

Dynamical aspects of atom interferometry in an optical lattice in proximity of a surface

Sophie Pelisson, Riccardo Messina, Marie-Christine Angonin +1

The efficiency of an atomic interferometer in proximity of a surface is discussed. We first study which is the best choice of frequency for a pulse acting on internal atomic transi…

Atomic states in optical traps near a planar surface

Riccardo Messina, Sophie Pelisson, Marie-Christine Angonin +1

In this work we discuss the atomic states in a vertical optical lattice in proximity of a surface. We study the modifications to the ordinary Wannier-Stark states in presence of a…

Laser controlled tunneling in a vertical optical lattice

Quentin Beaufils, Gunnar Tackmann, Xiaolong Wang +4

Raman laser pulses are used to induce coherent tunnelling between neighbouring sites of a vertical 1D optical lattice. Such tunneling occurs when the detuning of a probe laser from…

Gamma-ray burst afterglows : luminosity clustering at infrared wavelengths?

B. Gendre, S. Pelisson, M. Boer +2

Clustering in the luminosity of the afterglows of gamma-ray burst has been reported in the optical and X-ray. We investigate the possibility that a clustering in the luminosity of…
